American man, speaking English, introduces the parts of Units 1-12 (to be used with Bloomfield’s Spoken Dutch text). A native speaker (male) supplies the Dutch utterances.
Collection Technical Notes:
Tapes were dubbed from one (or the other) set of the discs. (The second set of discs is from the McQuown donation.) The name of the author is supplied from the notes of Norman A. McQuown.
Set 1 is from the McQuown donation. The data on the creators is supplied from the printed texts. The same records were re-issued by Holt (q.v.) in 1946.
One pamphlet, excerpted from Say it in Portuguese by the editorial staff of Dover Publications, Inc., New York, folded, inside a box for a five-inch reel.
Unnamed native speaker (male) relates several Totonac stories, introduced by Norman McQuown, who was in Mexico City in c. 1941.
Collection Technical Notes:
The 23 "Audiodisc"-brand discs were cut live in Mexico City c. 1941. A technician in the Old Lab in Classics made a tape dub of these discs c. 1958; he refers to them at the beginning of each tape as the "Property of the Linguistic Institute of Chicago". The set of seven aluminum discs are copies of the Audiodiscs, but it is not known when (or where) they were made. Note: McQuown's use of the initials "MOC" in the shelf code might refer to Mexico City. WAVE files are now converted to MP3s.
